Assam CM hails NMCs 13,186 new MBBS seats, says medical education expansion major boost
Digital Desk | Guwahati, Sep 13 (IANS) Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Sunday lauded the National Medical Commissions (NMC) approval of 13,186 additional MBBS seats across the country, describing the expansion as a significant boost to medical education and healthcare capacity in India. CM Sarma welcomed the development in a post on X, highlighting the importance of expanding opportunities for students aspiring to pursue medical education and strengthening the countrys pool of trained doctors. The latest expansion has pushed Indias total MBBS intake to more than 1.4 lakh seats for the 2026-27 academic session. According to the latest NMC data, the total number of undergraduate medical seats has risen to 1,40,214 across 836 medical colleges, excluding seats at Institutes of National Importance. The increase represents a substantial expansion in medical education capacity at a time when demand for MBBS seats remains high among students appearing for the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET-UG). The additional seats have been approved across union territories and several states, with Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Bihar among those registering some of the largest increases. For Assam and the Northeast, the expansion assumes added significance as the region continues to strengthen its medical education and healthcare infrastructure. The state has witnessed a steady expansion of medical colleges and health facilities in recent years, with the government seeking to improve access to specialised healthcare while creating more opportunities for students within the region. The national increase in MBBS seats is also expected to help address the growing requirement for qualified medical professionals as Indias healthcare infrastructure expands. The NMCs latest decision comes after an earlier addition of thousands of MBBS seats for the 2026-27 academic year, taking the countrys overall medical education capacity to a new high. The Centre and the NMC have in recent years focused on expanding medical education infrastructure, increasing undergraduate and postgraduate seats and establishing new medical colleges. The latest expansion is expected to provide thousands of additional opportunities to NEET-UG aspirants and further strengthen Indias medical education ecosystem. CM Sarmas reaction comes as Assam continues to position the expansion of healthcare and medical education as an important component of its development agenda.

Gujarat man held for allegedly posing as IAF Squadron Leader, cheating job seeker of Rs 1.95 lakh
Digital Desk | Rajkot, Sep 12 (IANS) The Rajkot city police have arrested a 33-year-old man for allegedly posing as a Squadron Leader of the Indian Air Force (IAF)'s Suryakiran team on Instagram and cheating a complainant of Rs 1.95 lakh on the promise of securing an Air Force job. The accused, identified as Pratik Bhardwaj, was arrested by a team of Gandhigram-2 (University) Police Station following a technical analysis of the online fraud. Police said the accused had created an Instagram page in the name of Pratik Bhardwaj and claimed that he was serving as a Squadron Leader in the Flying Branch of the Suryakiran team, Squadron 52, at Bidar Air Force Station in Karnataka. According to the police, Bhardwaj gained the complainant's confidence through social media and offered to help secure a job in the Air Force. He allegedly induced the complainant to transfer money online in instalments to bank accounts, with the total amount reaching Rs 1.95 lakh. A case was registered at Gandhigram-2 (University) Police Station under Sections 318(4), 319(2) and 204 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, and Section 66(D) of the Information Technology Act. The investigation was conducted under the supervision of Police Inspector K K Gohil, with Assistant Sub -Inspector (ASI) Sanjaybhai Thakar, Police Head Constable Rahul Thakur, Police Constable Savanbhai Vasoya and Traffic Regulation Brigade personnel Hemangbhai Rajeshbhai involved in the probe, officials said. Police said technical analysis helped establish the identity of the accused, following which he was arrested and legal proceedings were initiated against him. Bhardwaj was residing in a rented house belonging to a person identified as Deepak at D-32, Shantiniketan Park-4 at Nanavati Chowk in Rajkot. Police seized two mobile phones during the operation with a combined value of Rs 16,000. The operation was conducted on the instructions of senior officials, officials added. Further investigation is underway to trace any co-accused, where the money was utilised and people who may have been a victim of such promises.

BJP to hold 5-day padyatra in Karnataka against curtailment of Vande Mataram
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Sep 12 (IANS) Karnataka Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President and MLA B.Y. Vijayendra said on Saturday that the party will undertake a five-day padyatra across all 224 Assembly constituencies in the state from September 15, and party workers and members of the public will meet tahsildars and Deputy Commissioners to protest against the state government's decision to curtail the singing of Vande Mataram. Speaking to reporters at the state BJP office Jagannath Bhavan, Vijayendra added that the party would submit representations to officials and exert pressure on the state government to withdraw its decision. Vande Mataram is not merely a song. It inspired the spirit of the freedom struggle among crores of Indians and instilled a sense of patriotism among the people, he said. He criticised the state government's decision to permit the singing of only two stanzas of Vande Mataram, while the Centre has decided that all six stanzas should be sung. It is unfortunate that the state government and Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar have decided that singing only two stanzas is sufficient. This decision has been taken with an intention to appease minorities, he alleged. Vijayendra also urged Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar to learn from the Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, who, he said, had ensured that all six stanzas of Vande Mataram were sung. The State BJP President said the padyatra would be held across all 224 Assembly constituencies for five days from September 15. On the recent Enforcement Directorate (ED) searches linked to Karnataka Public Works Department Minister Satish Jarkiholi, Vijayendra alleged that there was growing discussion within Congress that someone from the party, who had information about Jarkiholi, might have provided information to the ED. Jarkiholi had himself said that the details of those who complained to the ED should be traced, the State BJP President said, adding that this had raised questions about possible internal rivalry within the Congress. Satish Jarkiholi is also an aspirant for the Chief Minister's post. Is there an attempt within the Congress to undermine each other? Vijayendra asked. He said the BJP had no role in the ED searches and claimed that discussions were taking place over whether the developments were the result of internal conflict within the Congress and a power struggle for the Chief Minister's post. There is no role of the BJP behind the ED raids. There are discussions about whether a conspiracy or a plot is being carried out due to internal differences in the Congress and the fight for the Chief Minister's chair, he added. Vijayendra also claimed that information could have been provided to the ED because Jarkiholi was perceived as a potential obstacle in the race for the Chief Minister's post. Opposition Legislative Council Chief Whip N. Ravikumar, BJP state general secretaries N.S. Nandiesha Reddy and Preetham Gowda, Yuva Morcha state president and MLA Dheeraj Muniraju, and former MLA M.D. Lakshminarayana were present at the press conference.
